Wilkerson ran peregrine masters (ok I'll give you Blyther)

craig strong rode on spokes
and brian scura. and they were both wheelie kings
martin aparijo rode on spokes too.

freestylers riding on alloys probably was a later development
about 84-85

graeme, what does that mean exactly...
tuffs 'are' the iconic wheel of 80's bmx. no-one in this thread has said they were better than a wire wheel, just stating that they were the wheel to have...more form than function....they looked as cool as, and, quite frankly, still do. as far as i can remember the only wheel anyone i knew wanted was tuffs..........white ones.....white tuffs...coaster brake....dribble....droooooollll

Dave

remember on Ebay, a few years back now, there ws nothing but white tuffs...

where they all gone now?

freestyle bikes? , ive got an 83 supergoose with tuffs on id like a potts mod but cant find a short enough potts bolt for my pro class stem , bitd i mostly was riding a supertuff mk2 with potts and coaster make do and mend didnt stop me from getting rad though , there were no freestyle bikes in 1980 we just had to use what we had

theRuler · « **Reply #65 on:** November 28, 2006, 09:56 PM »

a nice shiny coloured annodized rim and matching hub looks nicer than a plastic wheel.

am i the only one that thinks this?

selfpreservation · « **Reply #66 on:** November 28, 2006, 09:58 PM »

i like either

I can't believe you're the same age as me?

It was all about DP's & Curtis freestylers (with the odd Haro for the spoilt bastards) with CW bars, tuffs, whitewall tyres

that curtis is certainly in a class of it's own.

i know i am in the minority with the tuffs, but you can not deny my existance!
and there were more riders on spoked wheels than you all remember

cw bars though? lol.

if i had a scanner i would scan in riders with spoked wheels

neil ruffel used alloys too as soon as he was free from skyway

lol@the big head burner kid. now there's a bike that needs tuffs.
